Diffusion is a physical process that involves the spontaneous movement of molecules from where they are plentiful to where they are scarce.
This process could occur in either directions and is dependent on the direction of the concentration gradient. If for example, there are more water molecules outside the cell, then the water molecules would diffuse into the cell and if there are more water molecules inside the cell, they would diffuse out of the cell.
I both cases, the water molecules have to travel through the cell membrane, which brings us to the next concept: Osmosis - which is the diffusion of molecules along a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell membrane)
What else can I help you with?
What is the phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not going through mitosis?
The phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not going through mitosis is called interphase.
Water moves from tracheid cell to tracheid cell through?
Water moves from tracheid cell to tracheid cell through pits, which are small openings in the cell walls. Pits allow water to flow between adjacent tracheids, contributing to the overall efficiency of water transport in plants.
Water passes through a cell membrane by?
What_is_the_passage_of_water_through_cell_membranes_calledPassage of water through cell membranes occurs through osmosis.
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
What regulates water balance of living cells that have cell walls and don't have cell walls?
Living cells with cell walls regulate water balance through the process of osmosis, where water moves in and out of the cell to maintain equilibrium. Cells without cell walls regulate water balance mainly through ion channels and transporters in their plasma membranes that help control the movement of water and solutes.
Why does defusion happen?
To let things through the cell membrane
What are the release dates for Defusion 4 Bio-Cell System - 2014?
Defusion 4 Bio-Cell System - 2014 was released on: USA: 31 October 2014 (video premiere)
What is going on when cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
What is the phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not going through mitosis?
The phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not going through mitosis is called interphase.
What process do plants use to absorb water?
Generally the pull of transpiration (evaporation of water through the leaves) will pull water in from the roots. Adhesion and cohesion also allow the water to move up the xylem of a plant (through capillary action).
What is facilitated defusion?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. These proteins create a channel or carrier through which specific molecules can move down their concentration gradient. It does not require energy input from the cell.
What process is going on when cells in a plant root drink in water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
What is the difference between osmosis and defusion?
Osmosis is the transfer of water through a membrane to have an equilibrium of water particles on each side. Defusion is also the transfer of water through a membrane, but because it is trying to make the concentrations of ions on each side equivilant.
How can water go through the cell membrane when it is polar?
Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.
What can Water oxygen and carbon dioxide can enter a cell through?
Through the cell membrane.
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is?
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is water. Water moves freely through cell membranes to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
